If you've ever regretted a missed opportunity in a relationship then this song's for you. It's about seeing someone you think you might like, maybe chatting up a bit, but never getting round to much more
lyrics
I was on the outside
Looking inwards
And I felt the pain
Never even knew your name
I never even knew your name
You were on the inside
Looking outwards
And you felt the same
You never even knew my name
You never even knew my name
You can feel it
You can mean it
But there's something
Forgotten
You can mean to
And you should do
Cos the reason was there
Sitting at the table
You were reading
When I played my hand
Could it ever be the same
If I never gave my name
You were quite receptive
And I felt that
I had found a friend
Wanted there to be a change
Cos I always give my name
You can feel it
You can mean it
But there's something
Forgotten
You can mean to
And you should do
Cos the reason was there
Go go go for it
And say say
Anything to
Take take
What you want
And get get
What you need
When I think back
Would I do it
The same
I'm sure I'd give my name
I really was the one to blame
On the wrong side
Mistake made
Never gave my name
Really to blame
